3.Apply a thin bead of stove cement in the newly- cleaned groove.

4.Lay the gasket into the groove. Wait until you are a couple inches from the end before you cut it.

5.Test the gasket by closing the door on a slip of paper as described above. Adjust the gasket in any areas where an inadequate seal is evident.

All rope-type gasketing used in the Dutchwest Convec- tion Heater is made of fiberglass. The gasket is 3/8” diameter for front and side doors and the ash door and 3/8” for the top plate. 3/16” gasket is used behind the glass.

Avoid Damaging the Glass Door Panel

Do not abuse the glass by slamming the door or striking the glass with a log. Never operate your stove if it has damaged or broken glass. If you need to replace the glass, use only replacement glass provided by your lo- cal Dutchwest dealer.

Damper Adjustment

With time, you may need to adjust the damper link- age to ensure that the damper plate seals tightly when closed. Test the damper when the stove is cold. When turned into the closed position, the damper should be feel “snug” but not too tight. It will become a little tighter as the stove heats up. Use a 7/16” socket wrench with socket extension to adjust the linkage:

1.From inside the stove, first loosen and then remove the two (2) nuts on the threaded rods that secure the top plate to the inner top of the stove.

2.Remove the top plate and open the damper.

3.Loosen the adjusting bolt’s lock nut. (Fig. 37)

4.Loosen the anchor bolt’s lock nut, located on the underside of the damper.

5.Loosen the anchor bolt a turn or two.

6.Tighten the adjusting bolt.

7.Test the damper. Make further adjustments if neces- sary.

8.When final adjustment has been made, tighten the adjusting bolt lock nut, the anchor bolt, and the an- chor bolt lock nut.

Primary Air Control Adjustment

Simple spring-loaded tabs maintain tension on the primary air control lever. The air control should be loose enough for you to easily set its position by hand, but

also snug enough to remain in that position until you change it.

Over time, the air control may tighten or loosen. To adjust the tension on the control, let the stove cool to room temperature. Open the side-loading door and look in toward the inner side of the front panel of the stove. (Fig. 38) Locate the lower hex head bolts (A) on the pri- mary air manifold rods on either side of the door. Adjust with a 7/16” wrench.

Note that the mechanism may tighten slightly as the stove heats up. Your adjustment should leave the air control snug, but not overly tight.
